    Updated Octopus Go Charging Costs

    Topped up my MG5 last night with the 7.5p/kWh new rate. Put in 26.9kWh at a cost of £2 which is 65p more than the old rate, but still a saving on petrol/diesel equivalent.

    Cracked front window replacement

    Driving up the M5 yesterday in a heavy shower I was overtaken by a big truck and heard a large cracking sound as it passed. Now have a 12" crack leading off from the edge of the window. Insurance have arranged for National Windscreens to come out and replace, but can they refit the window...

The same also happened when I approached a vehicle from behind. Hadn't read this in the manual before but seems a very useful adjunct, is this presumably...

    Driving in floods?

    Did my first long range drive to Dorset on Saturday in torrential rain. Negotiated a few flooded roads that must have been 9" deep in water. A bit concerned that the battery is underneath the chassis, but guess it's fully waterproof? Is it OK to drive through fords? Have to go through one in...
